Gemma's Bigger Bolder Baking 3 Amazing Fudge Recipes
Hi Bold Bakers! I know how much you love my no-bake recipes so this week I have 3 BIG
& BOLD new Fudge flavors for you that are really impressive and also really easy. So let's get baking!
My fudge is really easy to make and what I'm going to show you today is how to make a white
chocolate and a milk chocolate fudge that you can add anything to and get really creative.
A perfect example of this is our first fudge and that's Cookies & Cream.
In a large heat proof bowl, we're going to add in our white chocolate and condensed milk.
If you can't buy condensed milk, then I'm going to put a link in the description box
below of how you can make it.
Now we're simply going to melt these two ingredients together. You can do it over a pot of boiling
water. You can also melt it in the microwave but keep a close eye on it so it doesn't burn.
I've received a lot of requests for white chocolate fudge and that's exactly what this
recipe is. To make this fudge cookies and cream flavored, I'm going to smash up some
OREOs so we can mix it in.
Once your mix is nice and warm and all of your chocolate is melted, it's time to add
in the rest of the ingredients. I'm going to add in some vanilla extract because OREO cookies always
remind me of that vanilla flavor. Add some salt because I like to add it to all of my
baking. Gently mix in these ingredients until they're combined. You don't want to overmix. Now to
our white chocolate fudge, we're going to add in all of our lovely crushed OREO. What
a great sweet treat: a few ingredients, a few simple steps, and then you have this beautiful
homemade fudge. Look at that--beautiful!
Our next step is to line a tray with parchment paper. I put the measurements for
this tray along with the recipe and the method below the video on YouTube and I'm also going
to post it on my Facebook page.
Now pour your fudge into the lined tray. As you can see, it's kind of thick so you
can spread it out with a spatula. This fudge smells so good, and I'm really excited to try it.
For an added extra, scatter more OREO on top. Don't be shy because the more the merrier.
I'm going to put this fudge aside to set. It will take around 6 hours but preferably
you would leave it overnight to get a really nice texture. You can leave this one on the
counter or you can actually store it in the fridge. But remember that when you eat it,
it's always best to have it at room temperature because the flavor is much better.
I made some cookies & cream fudge yesterday so I could show you exactly what it's going
to look like when it's done. Now cut thick slices of your fudge and we're going to cut
those into bite-sized pieces. I really like the contrast in the colors of the black and
the white. This is a really pretty fudge.
I love everything cookies & cream but we can't stop here so on to our next flavor.
Now for the milk chocolate fudge but we're not just going to make a regular one, we're
going to make a S'more fudge.
This one is for all you S'more lovers out there because I know there are a lot of you.
Like any good S'more, we're going to start out with the graham crackers. You want to
get your graham crackers nice and fine. You can do this in a food processor or you can
use a rolling pin and just bash 'em. To our graham cracker crumbs, we're going to add in our
melted butter and then mix them all together. I'm going to use half of this mix and I'm
going to push it into our prepared baking tray to make a crust on the bottom. Perfect!
I'm going to pop this in the fridge and let it set up and then we're going to get started
on our fudge. Just like our first fudge, we're going to put our chocolate in a heat proof
bowl. To this we're going to add our condensed milk.
Because fudge is sweet, I do recommend using a fat free condensed milk because it does
make a big difference. And then add in some butter. It just gives a nice soft texture
to your fudge.
Just like before, we're going to melt all of these ingredients together.
When your chocolate mix is melted, we're going to give it a little more flavor with some
vanilla extract and some salt. And then gently whisk all these ingredients together. And remember
what I said, take care not to overmix.
When I worked as a pastry chef, one of my jobs at nighttime would be to make candies
like fudge. And I remember they were such a big process into making them and the results
were never half as good as this fudge.
If only I knew then what I know now.
Pour half of your fudge onto your graham cracker base and spread it out with your spatula.
Then scatter mini marshmallows all around because you can't have S'mores without marshmallows.
Then spread the rest of your fudge on top and finish this treat off with more graham
cracker crust on top. It does not get much better than this.
I can't wait to try this--it weighs a ton!
Just like before, we're going to put this guy aside to set and I'm actually going to
keep it in the fridge to make sure the graham crackers and everything stay nice and fresh.
I have a S'more fudge all ready for you to see so I hope you're excited.
This treat tastes just like a S'more and you don't even need an oven or campfire.
I've made a lot of different S'more desserts but I actually think this one is my favorite but we can't
stop here we still have another fudge recipe to come. Mmmm.
This next flavor is for all of you Red Velvet fans out there including Sherry Lynn who really
liked my Red Velvet Mug Cake over on LittleThings.com.
So this is my Red Velvet Fudge!
For this recipe, we're going to use my white chocolate fudge as the base. Heat this mixture
up until your chocolate has just melted. You don't want to get it too hot.
To our fudge mix we're going to add in the ingredients that make Red Velvet: vanilla
extract, ground cinnamon, cocoa powder and red food dye. And then very gently mix all
of these ingredients together. You'll see your fudge start to stiffen so be very careful
that you don't overmix it. Just gently fold in these ingredients.
And then immediately scoop it into your prepared baking tray. And spread it evenly all the
way to the corners.
In a separate bowl, melt the rest of your white chocolate. We're going to drizzle this
chocolate all over the fudge for added flavor and texture. To let your Red Velvet fudge
set, we're going to pop it into the fridge for a few hours. The red velvet fudge I made
looks fantastic and I'm going cut a piece so you can see all the beautiful marbling.
Another great thing about fudge is that you can use cutters to make different shapes.
So this one is definitely for all the Red Velvet lovers.
Now you have 3 simple and impressive fudge recipes that I think you will all love.
